It's funny how this worked out: last week I wanted to make Five Things Friday about Inspiration. Yet when Cathryn Louis had asked me to be a guest at her No Reason Whatsoever blog, I didn't have a clue what I'd write about. I didn't even think about Inspiration. But what made the post happen was exactly that: I found inspiration in my mountain cove, in nature, as I many many times do.

Love it, Kathryn! I'll be briefer than usual, as so many match up. My view. My walks in the woods. The dunes, and that big ole lake, and her moods. My family, especially those who've passed before me. Last, and most importantly, my wonderful, beautiful wife, who is my 'ideal reader.' She's the one I picture reading while I write - trying to make her laugh, read-on, or to be moved. Now that's inspirational! Headed over to your guest blog next. Great post. Love Fridays!

Kat, your mountain view is truly a slice of heaven. Your granddaughter is precious...gosh, it seems like yesterday you were on the trek to visit...what inspires me? just sittin' and lookin' at the world go by. Have a great weekend.

I have to tell you that you have inspired me to begin considering my writing as an asset which can be sold, that the Sagas, Memories and historical studies running through both of these are worthy of an audience that would consider paying to read them. Though your background was in the Mountains and mine in the Heartlands, we shared tumultuous childhoods, time in Loosianna and a drive to write down our thoughts, prayers, and family trials and celebrations. Keep up the good work fellow writer.

Oh I like those ruins.I’d probably break my neck trying to get to the top of them.I see how you can get lost and find yourself among your surroundings.

What inspires me?Hmmm well there’s…. no I can’t say that.Ummm oh, no I can’t say that here either.Yeah, yeah I got a fowl dirty filthy mind but that’s what happens when you don’t always wash behind your ears as a kid.

People inspire me.The vast differences that they all posses yet they all strive to achieve the same goal in their own way.8 billion paths, one road.

A beautiful post, Kat. I'm inspired by similar things - most of them connected to the nature I'm so fortunate to live in the midst of. Always birds, the wind, a sunny day, the river, and the people who share it all with me.

What a lovely post. Does that hollow tree contain a squirrel's cache? Nothing more precious than that, at least to the squirrel.

You have a beautiful place and a beautiful family, all of which must give you daily doses of inspiration. For me, it's pretty random: small acts that surprise me, long walks in poor weather...those are things that lead me to think, which I guess is almost the same as being inspired.
